Naomi Ellemers (2010)

Naomi Ellemers (born January 31, 1963 in Groningen ) is a Dutch social psychologist and professor at the University of Utrecht .

Ellemers studied psychology at the University of California, Berkeley , and the University of Groningen , graduating in 1987. She received her doctorate in Groningen in 1991 with a dissertation on advancement strategies. Then she was a lecturer at the Free University of Amsterdam (where she received a prize for the best teaching in psychology in 1991) and in 1999 she became a professor at the University of Leiden. In Leiden she was a university professor for social psychology for organizations until 2015.

Ellemers examined the status of individuals in groups and organizations, the mechanism of discrimination (for example, according to gender, social origin or ethnicity) and social identification mechanisms, both empirically in practice and with laboratory experiments. In doing so, she found that identifying with values ​​and groups is more important than financial or career incentives for employee motivation.

In 2010 she received the Spinoza Prize and in 2008 the Kurt Lewin Prize. In 2010 she received the Merian Prize of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences for women scientists. In 2002 she became an Honorary Fellow of the American Psychological Society and in 2014 a Fellow of the British Academy .
